Often maligned and made synonymous with concepts such as “Black magic” or “Diabolism” Goetia is rather an ancient tradition of magic and spirit work going back thousands of years. In this presentation Stian Kulystin will give a broad overview of the history of Goetia from Ancient Greek Necromancy, through the Hellenistic age and to the infamous Grimoires of the Middle ages through the Enlightenment and how this notorious “Black art” is really a deep and vital foundation of the Western Magical Tradition.
